Trials

Riders hop, hook and wheel jump their way up, down and over purpose-built obstacles designed to test the extremes of bicycle-based agility and technical skill.

Bike handling is everything as they compete for “clean” rounds where they conquer rocks, blocks and more without ever putting a foot on the floor.

When the riders face the course at Kelvingrove Park, the name of the game is flawless execution. 

Riders have 2 minutes per section to be as precise as possible as they overcome set obstacles. Every mistake - like falling, feet touching the ground (known as a “dab”), or re-establishing balance with the use of hands or arms - incurs penalty points. 

The rider with the fewest penalty points wins.

The moves the riders pull off have to be seen to be believed. So make sure you’re at Kelvingrove Park to witness a true cycling spectacle.
